Arkose experts - I need your help!
I’m currently building up a new bike but have yet to buy the frameset which will more than likely be an 2017 Arkose 4.
I’m hoping to use a set of 650b Fulcrum Red Power wheels that has a 15mm thru axle on the front. I’ve bought a 12mm sleeve that will shim the hub down to 12mm so it can be used with the Arkose. My worry is that the 15mm part of the hub has an outer diameter of 21mm which may catch on the inside of the fork dropouts. Are the Arkose forks flush on the inside of the forks or are they shaped in a way that will prevent me from using these wheels?
Hope that makes sense?
Thanks
